Abstract

This study analysed the accounting deal for carbon credit operations of Brazilian companies in the renewable wind energy segment with clean development mechanism (CDM) projects and their particularities. Descriptive, exploratory, and quantitative research was conducted. Multiple correspondence analysis was used to generate clusters and Fisher's exact test was also used. Regarding the accounting deal, the projects show transactions with carbon credits, classifying them as intangible assets. However, it is suggested that credit should be accounted for in a specific account of current assets as a financial instrument. Regarding the relationships between the particularities of the CDM, there is a significant relationship in all themes analysed, except for the information topic. Even though the CDM is a milestone in environmental regulation, it is important to establish public policies to promote tax incentives and specific rules on the accounting treatment of operations with carbon credits.
